A few years ago, when Harry Stebbings got started doing The Twenty Minute VC, I turned him down for an interview because I'm generally not happy to make the story about me. I like putting founders front and center. But over the years I've learned amazing things from Harry's podcast.

So when Dom Fendius, a fairly new podcaster, got in touch about an interview exploring how successful people overcome failure - the focus of his podcast Fail_Succeed, I hesitated again but ended up saying yes.

I was very open with Dom and what we talked about makes me feel vulnerable. I hope some of you like it.
